this is our second time getting these watercolors! we love them so much. The metallic and the Glitter are so fun and unique. I would however recommend if a child is using them and they use a lot of water that you let them dry really good before storing them. They aren't like the kiddie kinds, they are much softer and we had a little trouble with them being goopy for the kids but when a 5 year old is using them they always become drenched!. But for an older child or adult that are amazing. they blend so well and the colors are vibrant!These are great for adding a pop of metallic to my paintings. They do not mix well with each other. You'll want to use regular watercolors to change the tint, but they maintain the metallic. Paint is a bit sticky even when completely dry. You'll want to seal your completed work.Seller was on top of the order and apologized for the late delivery, gave me option to reorder and it arrived the next day.Prang is a good portable option for beginners as well as budding artist on the go. The colors are true basic hues that mix well with each other. The brush is adequate for the task. I gave this with some watercolor paper to a family member in isolation to have some fun exploring. Young or old Prang is a good product and a great value.The metallic paints are fun to play with, have decent pigment and add interesting sheen. They are wetter and stickier than the regular Prang watercolors. But definitely still fun to work with. The glitter paints are garbage and I wouldn’t even give them to a child. Hard to work with, very little color or glitter.Great for beginners or more advanced kiddos! The color loads nicely on the brush and will come out nice and vibrant!They are great for what I need them forThe Prang pigments in this set are superior in quality while costing so little. I have somepricey Japanese metallic pigments, and the Prang set compares favorably.Love these as an added touch to watercolors, water, flowers, etc.These have a nice shimmer and good color.Good quality! Well worth the price.Paint remains sticky for a long time so be careful!
